KENT, Ohio – Sophia Wiard turned in one of the best offensive performances ever by a Rocket on Wednesday, scoring 40 points to help lead the Toledo women's basketball team to an 87-76 win at Kent State.
Wiard was remarkable, knocking down 12-of-17 shots from the floor and 13-of-14 free throws to reach the 40-point plateau for the second time in her career. Her career high is a school-record 42 points, which she scored at Northern Illinois on Dec. 10, 2020. Wednesday's game was the fourth 40-point game ever by a Rocket, and now Wiard is the only player in school history with multiple such performances.
